Chapter 20: Divination
"It's okay to be blind, it's up to you!" Saying that, the fat uncle pushed Lu Laojiu up, and the suspension bridge quickly bounced him up, Lu Laojiu jumped as if stepping on the blade of a knife, tightly dragging the chain, and was already sweating profusely, but once the bridge passed the weight, it would lose its balance, and it almost leaked Lu Laojiu out of the crack, looking at the abyss below, he suddenly stopped, and dragged the chain for help: "Brother Ling!" Save me! ”
Leng Mu shook his head and said lightly: "This suspension bridge can only bear the weight of one person, otherwise it will be broken." ”
"You can fly anyway! And you don't have to step on it. He pleaded with a sad face.
Leng Mu said expressionlessly: "This is to cross the Seven Bridges, everyone must finish it in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise they will not be able to enter the ancient tomb." ”
After listening, I glanced at the suspension bridge, and I didn't find anything related to seven, so I couldn't help asking, "Why is it called Seven Bridges?" What a strange name? ”
He explained: "It's just a seven-company formation, and whoever walks the drawbridge by any means will find that no more, no less, exactly seventy-seven steps." ”
The fat uncle stared at the bridge and said, "So evil? ”
"Oops! Why didn't you say it earlier! Lu Laojiu saw that he was not advancing, nor was he retreating, so he had to continue to look forward and walk over, he walked very slowly and carefully, his two hands almost did nothing else, only grabbed the iron chain, like a big crab, walking sideways, I wanted to laugh at him, but I thought, when it is my turn to be no better, do not do to others what you do not want, so I endured it alive.
When Lu Laojiu came to the end, Han Ye stepped on it immediately, although the balance was slightly worse than the two people in front of him, but it was N times stronger than Lu Laojiu, and soon came to an end.
Then it was my turn, and Leng Wood walked up to me and said, "Remember, don't look down, no matter what changes happen around you." You can't get distracted, you just have to keep your eyes on the front and go down. ”
I remembered his words firmly and nodded in response, "Hmm." ”
When I stepped on it, the bridge bounced off quickly. Thinking of Leng Mu's words, I just stared straight ahead, let alone looking down, and I didn't dare to squint, although the waves under my feet were turbulent. But my body seemed to firmly step on the center of gravity with every step, and seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the map, I was in a trance, and actually walked in front of him, and turned around, it turned out that I had finished walking?
Uncle Fat and Leng Mu quickly walked over, pointed to the front and said, "This is the entrance to the ancient tomb." ”
I turned my head, and there was nothing behind me except canyons and mountains.
Before I could figure out where the tomb gate was, I only heard the fat uncle say hello to the blind man Li, "Brother Li." It's up to you. ”
What to look at him? I was at a loss for what to do here, but it was suddenly pulled away by Lu Laojiu, "Don't get in the way for me here, stay there!" ”
Seeing that they were so solemn, I didn't want to lose my temper, so I had to retreat to the side with everyone, only to see Zhang Map quietly walking at the foot of the mountain and squatting, studying on the ground for a long time, and finally took out a turtle shell and put it in a fixed position, just towards the mountain pass. Then he stood up, not knowing what incantation was being recited in his mouth, and put his hands together and pointed at the turtle shell, rubbing it. There was a fire burning under the turtle shell, and I couldn't close my mouth in surprise, but fortunately I was covered by the cold wood, and then we stood by in a daze, watching the turtle shell roast and roast, and the thick smoke rushed to the top of the mountain like a python. I choked on the smell of burning, buried my head in the arms of the cold wood, and suddenly there was a bang, as if something had cracked, and suddenly sparks flew, and the blind man's face became more and more pale, and after a while he was already drenched in cold sweat.
A few of us looked at each other, waited patiently for a while, the fire was finally extinguished, and everyone took a closer look, only to see a traditional Chinese character cracked on the turtle shell: 殁.
"Dead? What do you mean? Lu Laojiu asked.
Blind Li stood up quietly, "It means death." ”
"Huh? Who's going to die? Is it passers-by, A, B, C, or us...... All? ”
He said expressionlessly: "From the hexagram, it shows that the whole army has been annihilated, which means that none of us can escape." ”
The hexagram of Blind Li has a 100% hit rate, and he has never made a mistake, and the most terrifying thing for us is not the hexagram, but the words that come out of his mouth himself, like a contract that the god of death has negotiated, and there is no way to change it.
"That'...... Then let's go, can we fight with the dead! Saying that, Lu Laojiu was ready to retreat.
Han Ye glanced at the turtle shell on the ground and said, "We have entered the enchantment, and the horizontal and vertical have already reached its territory, are you afraid of going one step deeper!" ”
"Huh? Death is death, death is death, so why is death not death? Lu Laojiu asked suddenly.
The fat uncle came over and explained: "It depends on what you want to express, in ancient times, the names were different for the death of people with different identities and statuses, such as the death of the Son of Heaven is called death, the death of the prince and prime minister is called Xue, the death of the doctor is called a pawn, and only the death of ordinary people is called death, as for the death of the ......." ”
Lu Laojiu couldn't wait to ask: "That's right, who died?" Lao Tzu wants to see what level we are in the heart of the old monster of Garuda. ”
The fat uncle sneered: "Hmph, we can't even talk about the level, only children who die of infancy and illness can be called dead." ”
Lu Laojiu gestured with his finger and asked, "Is it that treats us as children?" Or are we going to have a child die here? ”
Li Blind said: "I don't know if it treats us as characters, but according to this hexagram, there must be a child among us who got involved." ”
When Lu Laojiu heard this, he pointed at us one by one and asked, "Child...... Child? Is that you? I don't have a child, a child is not good at watching at home, what kind of fight do you bring it to! This is hidden deep enough! Now that he's been exposed, let him out quickly! Don't pretend to be a ghost when you go back to the ancient tomb, my old nine don't have a good heart, and I can't stand this stimulation. ”
"Kid, you're big!"
He looked at us a few times, and it didn't feel like it, "Not you?" Could it be that this kid came with him! ”
Without us talking, he suddenly pointed the finger at Zhang Map: "Huh? Lao Zhang, could it be your son? ”
was reprimanded by Zhang Tu: "Nonsense! ”
"Then I'll say hi to him." With that, he walked to the front and shouted behind the drawbridge, "Hey! Child! This is not the place you can go! What about you! Stay wherever it's cool! Don't follow the uncles! ”
He then shook his head, "It's like a soul." ”
He shouted for a long time and no one responded, and the fat uncle slapped him on the head, "What are you shouting about!" What kind of child can follow you all the way to the mountains! ”
"So according to what you say, this kid may not be human?" (To be continued.) )
